Fantasy Four :: FedEx St. Jude Classic

This event is always a fun warm-up to the U.S. Open. With past champion Dustin Johnson being joined by Ian Poulter, Brandt Snedeker, Peter Hanson and Phil Mickelson, there are a few names to keep us entertained this week.

This is Event 2/4 in Month 6, Event 2/16 in our Second Half and Event 23 Overall.

Stephen Ames
Mr. Ames missed the cut at this event last year, but had finished 8th in 2011 and 15th in 2010. He finished 48th at the Byron Nelson two weeks ago. He could be a decent sleeper this week.

Scott Brown
Has a win this year, but missed the cut last year and missed his last 3 cuts this year.

Russell Henley
The kid has had an impressive rookie season. He has 2 6th place finishes in his last 4 events. He was 6th at the Memorial last week and 6th at the RBC Heritage. This is his first time at this event.

Ross Fisher
Ross had 2 starts in the month of May: 10th at the Wells Fargo and 32nd at the BMW PGA Championship overseas. This is his first time at this event, but I would expect a good showing.
